Pioneer Network National Conference
The 2008 Pioneer Network National Conference was a rousing, thought provoking experience. The chance to be able to share the PCC experience - the challenges, the passion, the possibilities, was for me, both about the chance to learn more about the pieces in the journey from other professionals, as well as an opportunity to get recharged. And it happened. I learned from leaders and new- comers; I learned from the questions I asked and heard; I learned from the answers and the questions that came from questions; I learned from listening to what came out of my very own mouth, (on my professional and personal journey - do I walk the walk, self?) and I brought away with me a sense of renewal and reflection. And my own focus for 'a call to action.'
The title and the mood of this conference was 'A Call to Action' - and it was fitting. It ain't just about the talk, but about the walk. And that's what it's all about, isn't it? The passion for life affirming action and the fact we ain't dead till we're dead. Learning and experiencing and bringing it to life - sharing the journey. Making an active difference, making choices that create possibilities and support PCC.
I also want to thank the PN and the volunteers who made this such a valuable experience: Cathy Lieblich, Rose Marie Fagan, Christie Dobson, Cheryl Ritzi, and so very many more who made this possible.
I would love to hear from others who attended the conference and their thoughts and experiences. What they came away with and what their call to action is now...
